Palace. The Empress Dowager.

Xu Zishu has been recuperating in the Queen Mother's Palace since he was seriously injured that day, and he is finally able to get up today.

Xu Yuande came to the palace to visit his daughter again. Looking at his daughter who was able to sit up and eat by herself, Xu Yuande had mixed tastes. There is distress, anger, and more helplessness.

Watching his daughter finish drinking a bowl of soup, Xu Yuande said: "Zishu, come back to Xu's Mansion with me!" ”

Xu Zishu looked at his father and did not speak.

Xu Yuande said: "King Xuan, no, the third prince, it's not right, my father doesn't know what to call him now!" Nangong You treated you like this, and now that he has been demoted to a commoner, what is the need for you to stay in Xuan ...... now Alas! Xu Yuande sighed, he originally wanted to talk about the Xuanwang Mansion, but now, Nangong You is nothing, just a commoner.

"Father," Xu Zishu said, "the reduction to a civilian is only temporary, and I will not leave him." ”

"Why are you bothered!" Father Xu persuaded: "He actually wants to kill you for the sake of that woman." What good will it do if you stay with him! ”

Xu Zishu said: "That woman is dead, so I have to stay by his side." I'm married to him, and I'm not leaving. ”

Father Xu asked a little embarrassed, "...... of you?" ”

Xu Zishu knew what his father wanted to ask, and said, "No." ”

Father Xu said: "Since you don't have it, it won't delay you from remarrying." Let's be separated! ”

Xu Zi's wound hurt and it was not appropriate to talk more, so she didn't want to explain too much to her father, and said, "In short, I won't be separated." ”

After lunch, the Queen Mother came to see Xu Zishu, heard their conversation, and said as she walked in: "Indeed, now is not the time to separate. ”

"See the Queen Mother!" Xu Yuande hurriedly got up and saluted.

"No need to be polite, sit down." The Queen Mother said: "Nangong You is a prince after all, and it is only for a while that he is demoted to a commoner. He treated the mourning family like that day, and the emperor couldn't punish him too lightly. After a few days, everyone forgot about the matter, and the mourning family would naturally mention to the emperor the matter of restoring Nangong You's identity. Yuande, you don't have to be in too much of a hurry. ”

Xu Zishu looked at the Queen Mother with a grateful face. She knew that the Queen Mother did this for her sake.

The Queen Mother is naturally for her and for the Xu family. She also figured out later, the emperor seemed to be punishing Nangong You, but in fact he was dissatisfied with her. Ye Xiaoyan died in her palace, and she was still pregnant with royal flesh and blood in her belly. When the Queen Mother looked at it herself, she felt that this seemed to be helping Xu Zishu. The Queen Mother is very helpless! She's a fool.

The Queen Mother probably also understood that Nangong You's restoration of the royal status and restoration of the title had to be mentioned by her. As long as you wait for a while and find an opportunity, the emperor will definitely agree.

Xu Yuande saw that his daughter and the queen mother had the same attitude, so he didn't mention the separation. He said: "It's not good for Zishu to recuperate here all the time, hasn't the third prince come to see it until now?" He felt that it was better to call the third prince of Nangong You, and it was not good to always call him by his name.

The Queen Mother said: "The mourning family heard that after the third prince brought Ye Xiaoyan's body back, he refused to bury it for many days. Later, I finally listened to the advice of the four princes, and it is said that he will be buried today. ”

The implication is that these days Nangong You is concerned about Ye Xiaoyan's body.

Xu Yuande shook his head, but didn't say anything. Although he was dissatisfied with the third prince, he understood the feeling of nostalgia for his deceased wife, and he was like this to Zishu's mother at the beginning. It's just, it's a pity! This heart is not for Zi Shu. He has always opposed this family business, but Zishu insists on going his own way, although he is a father, he can't do anything.

The Queen Mother said: "After the funeral, it's almost time for Zishu to go back." Now that the Xuanwang Mansion is not in charge of the house, Zi Shu can just take charge when he goes back. ”

Xu Yuande said with some worry: "But Zishu's body ......?" ”

"Father don't worry, I can do it." Xu Zishu said.

The Queen Mother said: "Although I asked you to go back, don't be too reckless after you go back, and you still have to take care of your body first in everything." ”

"Yes, Grandmother." Xu Zishu agreed.

Two days later, Empress Dowager Xu ordered someone to send Xu Zishu back to Xuanwang's Mansion in a sedan chair. However, Nangong You was not in the mansion and did not come back for several days.

Where did Nangong Yu go?

Naturally, it started from the day of the burial.

At the end of the funeral that day, everyone returned to the Xuanwang Mansion, and as soon as Nangong You entered the house, he felt that someone had come in. Because the door of the bedroom was open, there were traces of sitting on the bed.

He felt that Ye Xiaoyan was in the bedroom before, and immediately asked the next person, did he see anyone coming? But everyone shook their heads, and they were not in the house.

Later, someone finally asked in the West Courtyard that a woman had come and asked if this was the Xuanwang Mansion, and the Xuanwang was not in the mansion.

Nangong You hurriedly asked, "What does that woman look like?" ”

The man known as Brother Qi replied, "He is very tall, taller than ordinary women, with an ordinary appearance and no features. ”

Nangong You twisted his eyebrows. Is that woman Yan'er or not?

After all, Ye Xiaoyan is in his mind with a delicate figure and outstanding appearance.

Nangong You asked, "Where did she go later?" ”

Brother Qi replied: "We thought she came in to steal something and wanted to catch her." But I didn't expect her to be martial arts, so we didn't catch up and let her run away. ”

Nangong You twisted his eyebrows again. Can martial arts?

This is far from Ye Xiaoyan in his mind.

Could it be that he really came in and stole something? However, which one of the thieves will ask if King Xuan is not there.

Nangong Youfeng ordered Qingfeng to inquire according to Brother Qi's description, if anyone outside had seen the woman.

It wasn't until the evening that Qingfeng came back and said that someone had seen him at the door of Baiwei Building. said that the woman stood at the door of Baiwei Building for a while, and then suddenly ran in the direction of the western suburbs.

West?

Nangong You immediately ordered people to prepare horses and chased towards the western suburbs. If that woman was really Yan'er, then she should have gone to Xishan Villa.

Although Nangong You's EQ is not high, his IQ is still quite high.

He galloped all the way to the villa, and was a little disappointed when he saw that the door was closed and the lock was intact. But as soon as he thought that the woman could do martial arts, he immediately dismounted, jumped into the courtyard, and found the backyard from the front yard.

Finally, on the big bed in the backyard bedroom, I saw a woman.

The woman's eyes were closed, as if she was asleep.

Nangong You's mood was a little excited, because this woman was exactly what the people in the house described: she was very tall and ordinary-looking.

"Yan'er!"

Nangong You tried to shout.

The woman did not react.

Nangong You walked to the side of the bed and shouted again: "Yan'er! ”

The woman still didn't react.

"Ye Xiaoyan!" Nangong You changed his name.

The woman still didn't react.

Nangong pondered for a long time, then stretched out his hand and pushed: "Ye Xiaoyan!" ”

The woman still didn't react.
